I've been hunting for the perfect piece of art for my Manhattan apartment -- you know, something…read morechic, sophisticated, worthy. I was walking along Church St. in Lenox, and decided to check out this so-called "gallery" -- Sohn Fine Art. I stroll in with high hopes, and honey... big mistake. Stay FAR away from this sad little wannabe "gallery." The owner, Cassandra Sohn, is out here acting like she's Norman Rockwell's long-lost twin -- please. She's not visionary; she's just delusional. Her attitude? Rude. Her so-called "art"? Tired. Dated. Like, if dust could be pretentious, this would be it. In my opinion, you're better off buying in the art section of Five Below.....

***** WARNING ARTISTS *****…read more I entered a fee-based competition for possible inclusion in a Soon Gallery exhibition. Instead of adhering to the acceptance/denial notification date she originally stated in the specifications, the gallery director switched to a Hollywood style maneuver and told me I was, "shortlisted", with a NEW notification date a month away, thus rendering my artworks in limbo and unavailable for exhibition elsewhere. I contacted Ms. Soon and demanded a refund. After her sad attempt at convincing me that by having shortlisted several of my pieces she had indeed fulfilled her obligation of timely notification, I contacted my credit card company. Bank of America has no tolerance for this type of manipulation of terms and upon their investigation granted my full refund.

This was a transformative experience. We drove 2 hours to…read moreget there. It was my partner's birthday, and let me tell you, he never had one like this! I booked a 2 hr Private Glassblowing session, and YES, it is worth the money. First, Mark set up the appointment and was very accommodating throughout the whole thing. Dan was our guide and instructor. He was AMAZING!! Both of us had almost no, or no experience at all with this, and it is such a detailed process with many steps, but Dan reviewed it with us ahead of time, and guided us appropriately the whole way. He loosened his guiding hold when he could sense we had it, or put an extra hand on when he knew we didn't, haha. He even let us go into it with novel ideas, and really let us explore. In the end, our vessels came out absolutely beautiful. Similar, but different in subtle ways. The perfect pairing for us two as partners in love. Thank you so much for this special, unique, unusual, and transformative experience. We would love the opportunity to go again sometime.

Just finished a class here doing Flamework/glass with Mark. Had a great time over the two hours. I…read morewent to the wrong building and was almost 10 minutes late. He welcomed me into the class and quickly caught me up (super appreciated). The class was informative, easy paced and no pressure. If you need a hype man, even if the piece isn't showroom worthy, Mark is your dude! Complimented each student, offered soft helping pointers, and even went hands on to help save some pieces. Already would love to take another class or start using their rental times to use the skills already taught! For $85, all materials included and two hours. Totally worth it.

I found the shop by looking up reviews, and I'm very glad that I did. I had four modified…read morephotographs that I wanted to frame; I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted them to look like. Debbie (the owner and framer) listened to my ideas, started working towards my goal, then added her own suggestions, gained from years of experience and a full knowledge of framing, combined with her clear vision. Throughout this process we worked together (masked and at a 6' distance due to COVID) to find the perfect frames. This is a top notch framing shop and Debbie is wonderful to work with. She is professional yet friendly, helpful but not pushy, her shop is very comfortable and a treasure trove of other bits and pieces. My frames are beautiful and the the workmanship is superb. I will definitely go back and highly recommend the Muse Custom Framing Gallery to others.
